in Minneapolis Minnesota February 6, 1995 Police officers responded to a 911 call and arrived at the home of Ted Mills, his wife Mamie Hernandez.

Mills and her stepson Nathan LA Mamie and Nathan had returned home from a dentist appointment to find Ted Mills dead and the house ransacked Mills lay with a gunshot wound to the head the back door of the house showed signs of entry forced the scattered clothes seemed to indicate that a robbery had occurred then the police found a typewritten note on a torn sheet of lined paper if anyone had checked this chest of drawers yellow paper it said this is for our friend you sent to jail sent the rest in peace was a clue that would speak volumes not only in the words on the page but also in the paper and ink Sergeant David Palmer of the Minneapolis homicide unit relied on the expertise of forensic document examiner Karen Runyon to help him read between the lines the document examiner match writers with their typists with their typewriters forgers with their forgeries using computers, microscopes and digital enhancements these new

detectives

delve into the tiny world of paper fibers and carbon particles to solve crimes As a document examiner, in this case it was up to Runyon to learn everything he could from the piece of paper, the people at the crime scene collected the note and brought it to me and I first did an examination to determine how a note had been prepared and had been prepared with a typewriter that used a carbon film ribbon, which told me that if the ribbon could be located, the ribbon could be read and possibly match this entry.

Runyan told the officers to look for an electric typewriter with a carbon film ribbon and if they found one like that they should collect it as evidence as well, they should note that this document had a fractured bottom edge where it had been torn off from the rest of the paper and should look for any pieces of paper like this with any fractured edges or any type of tablet that may have been torn off while Runyon was concentrating on the note, police questioned the victim's wife and stepson, according to Mamie and Nathan , they were at a dentist appointment when the murder occurred, they found his house from the dentist's office, but no one answered.

Ted should have been home, but they assumed he was fast asleep since he worked nights and slept during the days. The note suggested that the murder and robbery were revenge for a past robbery at his home that was foiled by the victim Mills had helped send the robber to jail. Sargent Palmer initially believed the story but the seeds of doubt were already germinating, there was some truth in this and we couldn't rule it out, but at the same time our experience tells us so. that in general, robbers will not come back or have someone come back and kill someone because of an identification they made during interrogation and that the police recorded on video.

Nathan la2 told police that he saw a gun next to Mills' body, but police couldn't find it, they were skeptical. The details do not match the two stories: they have two dogs in the house that bark whenever strangers come and yet Ted Knowles is sleeping upstairs and never woke up with Palmer, suggesting that the culprit was not a stranger, but Mamie and Nathan's alibis had support. The home's caller ID unit recorded his call from the dentist's office around the time of the murder. Another detail bothered Palmer. The place looked ransacked in a way that wasn't the way a thief would usually vandalize a room.

We suspected this because our experience as investigators, most thieves are not so clear, as we found that they took out the contents so they could easily and easily put them back in the drawers that were thrown and luyties 911 raised more suspicions, it simply had too much knowledge that he could tell us. Immediately, most people, when you talk to him, you know they're in a hysterical state like this, they can barely tell you what time of day it is, all they can do is scream and cry and drag someone out helpless, but this was this. it was a different thing we had an uneasy feeling about this something about the case didn't ring true the pieces just didn't fit together the strongest indication that not everything was as it seemed was a fingerprint on a broken window at the entry point also It belonged to Nathan 'la when Nathan Litter was confronted with the fingerprint evidence he analyzed and admitted his involvement in the murder days before the murder.

The two said his mother asked him to handwrite the sentences written on the note next to him. mils now investigators had reason to believe that Mamie Hernandez mils wrote the note herself, but since she said she couldn't read or write English and there was no typewriter in the house, police needed to find the typewriter used to create the note now that Nathan had implicated Mamie Runyon and investigators began to focus their search, they remembered that Hernandez Mills cleaned houses for a living. The police decided to look for a typewriter in the last houses where she worked, in one of them the police found an electric typewriter with a carbon film ribbon.

The last words of the note were clearly visible. They also found several yellow notebooks with paper similar to the note. The tape was taken to Karen Runyon's laboratory for analysis. She was relieved to discover that the film cartridge had been left in the typewriter if the ribbon had been removed. exhausted and discarded, the case would have become even more complicated to confirm that the tape contained the

y opened the cartridge. I took apart the tape cartridge and then transcribed the tape working from the final input we could. I watch on the tape as we pull it out of the typewriter.

I worked backwards from there transcribing everything that was written on that tape. Runyan discovered that the note had been written three times. This showed that whoever wrote it knew little about how to use the typewriter the first time. Both times they wrote it there were spelling errors and the typist must not have realized there was a correction device on the machine, so they had to start over. Runyan compared the fibers that had transferred from the paper to the tape when the carbon was struck. from the ribbon to the document, the paper fibers adhere to the mylar strip on which the carbon is located in the ribbon cartridge and the paper fibers remain on the ribbon matching the fibers that adhere to the ribbon with the fibers of the bill.

Runyan concluded that the banknote was in fact written using this tape, you put the fibers together almost like a fingerprint, the fibers are in a random pattern and they have been adhered to this tape in the same pattern as they were on the paper with the help of Karen Runyon, the sordid story inside the The plastic casing began to crumble inside the typewriter's ribbon cassette. Lay the true story of what happened to Ted Mills. The clues were microscopic but their importance was great. In this case I was able to join all the fibers in each of the letters of this note.

Karen Runyan had linked the note to the typewriter and the police linked the typewriter to Mamie Hernandez Mills, but the full story still needed to be told. Sergeant Palmer had to determine Mamie's role in the crime and her motive for committing it. He continued to get more details from Nathan. She-said that her mother had taken the shotgun that belonged to her husband from the upstairs closet and she had gone and shot her husband while he was lying in bed sleeping. In fact, she said that she went to look for the shotgun that was used in the murder, I took it down and hid it in a green spot in the basement that was next to where she slept.

Nathan finally tells me and my partner Sergeant Krebs what we wanted to know that he and his mother were responsible for the death of Ted Knowles. Nathan Litter swore, however, that he did not pull the trigger in the same way that he implicated his mother. . He was also very worried about his fate. He is very worried about what will happen to his mother more than himself. He is very worried and very. protecting his mother throughout this whole thing, he keeps warning us not to hurt his mother, not to do anything to her. Mamie Hernández Mills kept the calm and innocence of her when she talks to us, she is very cooperative with us, I mean, she gives you the appearance of her.

They asked me anything, I'll tell them anything, but obviously, except for that one thing, she will never, not even in this interview, admit that she had to do it. The death of Ted Mills when the pressure of interrogation began to increase. Mamie turned on her son. Just as Nathan had turned on her, she told the police. Nathan had raped her at gunpoint. Hearing this lie, Nathan Litter collapsed again. He had been hiding the biggest secret of all that he and his mother had had in an incestuous relationship. Mamie Hernandez Mills, 41, had recently reunited with Nathan'la, 22, whom she gave up for adoption years earlier.

Now Mamie was having a profound influence on her son. The police used that influence as leverage to obtain a confession from 'la. They were saying that Mamie, your mother pushed you to do this because she is a very controlling person in this relationship. The mother is the controlling child. Eventually, the two agreed to testify against their mother in exchange for a reduced charge of second-degree murder in Around the same time, investigators discovered that Mills had a life insurance policy through work and that Mamie had called to claim it shortly. after his death with this reason now stated.

The shuffled events of that

blood

y February day fell into place. Namie Hernández Mills had written a note. on his employer's typewriter using Nathan's handwritten note as a guide every time he made a mistake he would start over leaving a telling story inside the typewriter cartridge each keystroke extracted fibers from the paper transferring them to the strip of mylar on tape Nathan's trash faked a breakup -At his house, he made it look just like a burglar had done months before, but left an incriminating fingerprint when Nathan and Mamie went upstairs, they were careful not to wait to Ted Mills upon entering the bedroom, they wasted no time and did so after the kill.

Mills, the two faked the robbery. Mamie left a note meant to lead investigators to an avenging intruder who never existed. Mother and son then went to the hospital to attend a dentist appointment, while there they used a phone to check in at home knowing that the call would be recorded by the caller ID unit, this call was the basis of their alibi when returned home. Nathan called police 9-1-1 and later told investigators that he had hidden the murder weapon in a pipe and buried it under the tree. in court she testified against her mother in exchange for a reduced sentence mamie Hernandez Mills was found guilty of first degree murder on April 20, 1996 is serving a life sentence nathan litter pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 24 years leaving a note mamie Hernandez Mills and Nathan Litter intended to blame it on a fictional intruder, but left too much real-world evidence to the contrary: the note was left next to the body and that the note was part of a plan to make this look like another type of crime. what it really was and from that perspective this was an interesting case and the fact that we found the machine with the tape for investigators Palmer and Runyon a note intended to divert the authorities led them directly to the murderer in Virginia a murder case was Even more ironic: In a note scribbled to himself, a man made his deadly intentions terrifyingly clear.

The shooting death of an elderly woman in February 1995 led police to a home in eastern Virginia. The only thing missing from the scene was five dollars taken from the woman's purse. Police knew the crime was committed by 18-year-old Richard Webb to live with the victim's grandson, according to police. Richard planned to kill his grandparents, steal their money, and take their truck. The grandfather escaped when the gun misfired and he couldn't find the keys to the truck. Richard Webb fled on foot and was arrested a short time later. WebbHe was guilty, but his guilt was a matter of degree.

If the police were right and Richard planned the murder with the intent to rob, he would be guilty of first degree murder, but if he killed. in a sudden violent impulse, he would likely receive a lesser charge, it was up to the police to determine the killer's intentions as they searched Richards' bedroom, the police found an important clue on a torn piece of cardboard, a to-do list was written on it Among such mundane items like playing pool and watching a movie it was item number eight, it said simply kill after that, get money and get off the list, it seems like strong proof that Web had planned his crimes.

It was turned over to document examiner Michael Moore at the Virginia Division of Forensic Sciences in Richmond; to prove that Webb wrote the note, he would need to look for similarities between the note's handwriting and samples known to have been written by Webb. The identification of writing is based on the premise that writing embodies certain qualities and characteristics that are personal enough to serve as the basis for an identification of the writer. Webb's murder list now classified as evidence was securely sealed and given to Michael Moore Our writing is as personal as our fingerprints When we were young, most of us were taught to write by imitating a standard system often called the copybook system, despite this standardized technique, we began to develop our own personal writing that stays with us for life.

These deviations provide the basis for analysis when examining a document. Moore discusses writing speed, skill, slant and height ratio, proportion, and overall appearance. Similarities and differences are examined. Consistent combinations. of features are what Moore seeks to identify does not show good line quality there are some unusual places to stop and start has patches or touch-ups or his initial and final strokes strong he set to work applying a three-step process to the writing test he knew from the Initially this was going to be a challenging task in the first phase he was concerned strictly with the writing surface Moore noticed that something had been torn from the face of the smooth cardboard, exposing the rough inner layers, any handwriting on these layers could be distorted Because the rough surface of this particular piece of cardboard was so rough, it was difficult to write on and there was some voiding, you know, meaning that the person who wrote had to write several times in order to adhere a visible image . that the cardboard interfered with the movement of the pen Moore had to take into account that in his analysis some of the strange or forceful movements, for example, where the ink or pen came into contact with the foreign matter with the adhesive, is is this the habit? of the writer to square this particular portion of this letter or is this a result of coming into contact with this amount of glue.

The first phase of the examination showed that the rough edges, as well as the glue, may have affected the shape of the letter. letters in element number two, the bottom of the W in the work squares off where the pen hit the glue if the writing sample contains letters with closed loops, the document examiner must determine if they are a habit of the person who wrote the sample or if they were created by bleeding water-based ink and closing the loop, these variations in the writing surface can cause the letters to deviate from the author's normal writing, making analysis difficult in the second phase of the most studied examination of known material or writing known to have come from the suspect again faced a challenge in custody Webb was asked to fill out forms take dictation on a piece of cardboard and produce other writings to compare with the list original Moore made the comparison but found the samples inadequate Webb wrote what was dictated the writings in a very formal controlled environment kill the original list was undoubtedly written under very different conditions the two sets of writings only vaguely resembled each other Moore could tell who had some reason to believe that Webb had written the list but could not be absolutely sure to make a more conclusive judgment he needed to see more of Webb's writings no two writings by the same person, even if they were made by the same person, will be exactly same, meaning they will overlap, it can't happen to people they are not machines asked the detective for additional writings from the web because factors such as body position and writing surfaces affect writing requested that the samples come from a variety of circumstances the type of medium it was written on you know that one would expect it was probably not done on a table or a desk, it could have been standing, unsupported and it could have been holding a piece of cardboard in its hand , but there is no way to know.

Sheriff's deputies gathered a variety of Webb's writings, including cards from personal letters and some of his poetry. Webb had written these samples over a period of time, so they showed a wider range of Webb's writing styles. he. Now came the biggest challenge for Moore: the final phase of the writing exam, where he would make the critical side-by-side comparison of the list and material previously written by Webb for presentation to the court, used the black-and-white enlargement of the list, the traits and characteristics used to identify handwriting take many forms, some are noticeable, some are subtle in the cardboard list, but it is observed that the relative size of the numbers to the capital letters were consistent the number one was higher than the capital C in calls the number two was also higher than the capital W at work more I found this same habit reflected in the well-known writings of Richard Webb the importance of the natural range of variation Webb raised a For more information , had to take into account Webb's tendency to form the letter R slightly differently each time he wrote it in point number one.

The letter began well to the left of the spine and then continued to form a rounded top at point nine. They still start on the left of the spine, but the top was flat. The same variations of the letter R were better recognized in Webb's known writings. They exactly matched the variations found on the cardboard listing. The combination of these features led more to a single conclusion. could claim with virtual certainty that richard webb was the person who wrote the list on the cardboard and therefore had premeditated his crimes ultimately it takes a human mind to recognize a human hand as computers help solve more crimes every day michael Moore feels his job is secure; while computers are useful in some areas of forensic document examination, in reality they are simply not applicable to comparative writing for the mere fact that they have no way of measuring the relative individuality of documents in the first place. the questioned signature, even if 20 variations of a signature are used. were scanned into a computer, they may still fail to identify a twenty-first signature as coming from the same writer.

Computers do not have the ability to judge the range of variation or the circumstances under which the writing occurred. Computers just aren't it these days. What is available on the market today is simply not capable of doing what the human being can do when confronted with Moore's findings. Richard Webb pleaded guilty and received a life sentence for capital murder. Ultimately, handwriting analysis matched the murderer to his crime, but when comparing handwriting, the analyst must always be sure that he or she is focusing on the right clues. The most crucial handwriting samples may come from the least likely sources.

A small error in judgment by handwriting experts fueled the flames of one of the biggest hoaxes in modern history. In April 1983, the world was fascinated by the news that the Diaries of Adolf Hitler had been discovered in Stuttgart, all 60 volumes written. by hand for 35 years were found by a German journalist to determine if the books were actually written by Hitler's hand the German government recruited a brigade of specialists, including handwriting analyst Ordway Hilton Hilton was given seven samples of Hitler's writings Hitler to compare them with the diaries based on these samples declared that the Diaries were authentic was an honest mistake that almost destroyed his reputation Hilton was deceived correctly determined that the author of the Diaries also wrote the samples he used for comparison but his fatal flaw was his assumption that Hitler wrote the samples that he did not write.

They were written by the same person who forged the Diaries. That man was Conrad Cujo. The diaries sold for more than two million dollars before the fraud was exposed by an international team of chemists and historians. Document examiners studied the composition of the paper, the quality of the type and other characteristics and determined that the diaries were no more than Four years ago when the West German State Archives announced their findings, they discredited the books in no uncertain terms declaring the Diaries to be a grotesquely superficial concoction of a copyist endowed with limited intellectual capacity, yet Kujo perpetrated the most expensive fraud in history. publication history, if it were not for the experience of forensic examiners, it could have been successful, but incriminating. documents seemed to have a way of ending up in the right hands, especially if the crime is a murder in Smyrna Tennessee, outside Nashville, a man made a moving televised plea for help in 1994 Rikki Bryan, a 39-year-old welder, He had a sporadic relationship for five years with Charlotte Scott, 72 years old.

I thanked the woman for the six years she was missing, so I got a phone. Scott had been missing for two weeks. We should go home wherever she is. The family was hopeful she would be found. I have to pray that something someone shows up. Scott's daughter, Rosalie, reported her missing after discovering that she was gone and that the door to her apartment was open. We'd just like to know where she is. Police searched Scott's home on October 19. She was last seen filling a prescription and going to a money machine. His car was parked outside his apartment I want to check upstairs There were no signs of forced entry All signs of a daily routine were still intact As if he would return soon With no clues in the house The police turned to Rikki Bryan, they hoped At first he was able to provide some information .

It didn't look like Brian could help them. She said she was out of town when Scott disappeared and claimed they hadn't spoken in three months, but Brian helped the police more than she imagined. To Metro Detectives EJ Barnard. Nashville police and Clayton Thomas of Smyrna police found a hole in Brian's story, a hole they hope to pierce to get to the truth. They discovered that Brian had used Scott's ATM card the day they reported him missing. Detective Bernard told us no. in Nashville, but we had proof of this through the camera statements of his relatives, as well as transactions from the bank that was very close to his residence with that proof, Bryan's alibi fell apart, but only because he took the money of Scott didn't mean he was involved.

Even so, in his disappearance, the lie made him the only suspect in this crime with few clues. After he failed a polygraph test, the police obtained a warrant to search his house. They were looking for ATM receipts, weapons, tools that could be used in a kidnapping. or a murder anything that could link Brian to the crime, they found nothing, they had no physical evidence and nothing else leads the investigation to stop. A few frustrating days passed before the detectives received a break. Some members of Brian's family came forward and told the police that he had spread a scandalous story according to Ricky Brian Charlotte Scott was murdered by a gang of drunks in a rock quarry where the couple frequently met Ricky met He had gone for a few minutes and when he returned Charlotte had been murdered, he knew the story sounded absurd and he had no witnesses to prove that he was not involved, so he decided to bury the body and deny that he knew what happened to her.

In one respect, the police agreed with him: the story was absurd, but why would he make up a story like that unless he was really very Charlotte Scott? The strange story was his way of deflecting blame from himself, it had the opposite effect, the police now had reason to suspect that Charlotte Scott was murdered and that Ricky Brian killed her, but they still didn't have a shred of clue.evidence when police confronted him about the story he denied. he ever told it yet the story was the only clue they had they started searching for the buried body despite their long hours and the use of cadaver dogs they found nothing so Michael Thompson Ricky's nephew Brian approached Detective Thomas and He offered his help.

The 19-year-old would soon lead investigators to a place in the woods and Ricky Brian to the point of no return. Investigators rely on his skill, ingenuity and luck to find breaks in criminal cases in the Charlotte Scott murder investigation. The breakup took a step forward in the form of Michael. Thompson, Ricky Brian Thompson's nephew, offered to talk to Brian and hopefully learn the whereabouts of the victim's body. Police told Michael Thompson that they would appreciate him sharing any information he might uncover on November 15, 1994. Thompson went to visit his uncle Brian. He was extremely suspicious. He was convinced that his house was bugged and that the police were watching his every move after searching his nephew for a listening device.

Brian and Thompson engaged in a stilted dialogue intended to mask the truth of the conversation. Brian needed to retrieve a shovel and rake that he buried. In the forest with Scott's body, here was her confession, but he was not willing to say it out loud, instead he wrote it in a notebook. Every time he wrote a message, he would tear the paper out of the notebook and burn it in a wood stove. He feared that if found, the tools would link him to the body and during the written communication, Brian sketched a detailed map noting where the tools and body were buried, then burned the map just as he had burned the other notes that the evidence had been found. missing, but Not long after leaving Brian's house, Michael Thompson immediately called the police following the instructions he had memorized from the map drawn by his uncle.

He took them to a hole in the forest, there they found a body. 3:27 TS, there was a smell of all the decomposed meat, then we started going through the items, there was a lot of debris, we took out the Brie and at one point Detective Thomas found on the victim's foot that the remains were crushed and mutilated almost to the point. become unrecognizable with the help of identification. Detectives from the Thomas and Bernard unit recovered and identified the body of Charlotte Scott. It had been almost a month since they last saw her. The case had stalled for several weeks as investigators tried in vain to trip up Ricky Brian, but now they could move forward.

Charlotte Scott had The police had what they needed to arrest Ricky Bryan, but not enough to convict him. They needed hard evidence to prove that Brian knew where the body was buried. His nephew's testimony may not have been enough to convince the jury that they needed the notebook in which he drew the map - the map itself was unrecoverable - but if the notebook could be found, perhaps the remaining pages would have the faint impression to prove that Brian had full knowledge of the murder once again. Brian's family helped police by giving Detective Thomas the lead he was looking for in December.

Ricky Bryant's brother was cleaning the house where Ricky Brian resided and came across a notebook. The notebook was not brought to me immediately after looking at the notebook. I could see impressions. Where anything had been written on the vague prints defied all efforts to read them, but Thomas was convinced that they could be turned into compelling evidence if only they could be made legible, which was up to the U.S. Postal Service forensic laboratory. in Memphis, Tennessee. Examines more than 17,000 documents each year. It is one of the busiest document evaluation centers in the United States. The lab is equipped to analyze anything that has to do with ink and paper.

They can recover writing that has been erased and even illuminate signatures that have been scribbled. An infrared light source called a criminal sight makes some inks invisible and others fluorescent, revealing hidden writing. The lab typically examines documents related to white-collar crimes, credit card thefts, forgeries and fraud. Occasionally, it assists with outside criminal investigations, especially in criminal cases. murder grant for forensic document analyst Sperry has been at the lab for 18 years. The Postal Service typically does not get involved in local police cases. Our primary responsibility is to assist or support postal inspectors in the investigation of their crimes by providing them with forensic expertise in the area of ​​fingerprinting or document examination. certain cases like this where heinous crimes have been committed but we will offer our help in November 1994 Detective Thomas brought forensic document analyst Grant Sperry the notebook from Ricky Bryan's house the original mount was if these apparently blank pages could be convinced to reveal his secrets Thomas would have the evidence he needed to convict a murderer we can carry out it would be up to Sperry and the postal laboratory to decipher the faint impressions of writing left on the page these telltale grooves are called indented writing they are etched into a blank page when the page above is written in wood the ghostly impressions in the notebook tell the story of Charlotte Scott's murder, would they be enough to convict Ricky Bryan?

Okay, Patricia, we need to use a fiber optic light source to illuminate the surface of the replacement paper. and determined that Brian's notebook did indeed contain faint map prints and other indented writings after photographing it, he used the electrostatic detection apparatus or ESDA, the ESDA would make the ghostly indentations visible. The beauty of ASDA is that it is non-destructive. In other words, most of your document is protected by the film. The film of images. You can keep a permanent record of any of the notches that are revealed. Sperry placed the notebook page on a brass plate and placed plastic film over it and then a vacuum cleaner. attracted the film towards the fibers of the paper and towards the prints, then the film became electrically charged as the toner cascaded over it, the toner was attracted to the charge and filled in the crevices of the film once the toner settled into its place Sperry secured it with a sheet of adhesive The next step with plastic backing is to press, take the clear plastic adhesive that now has an image developed with our ESDA and cut this image to the size needed to remove the excess plastic before lift the plastic film.

Sperry smoothed it out to remove air bubbles so a single document could follow Asda's process five to ten times to bring out all the nuances. See here, we have tickets that appear to be from the school, if necessary. The elevation can be scanned into a computer to enhance and separate the image. In this case, the elevation of the map was so bold. that Sperry could read the indented writings with a magnifying glass Thomas and Sperry were pleased with the quality of the survey and the number of writing samples that emerged, as they revealed every detail of the carefully drawn map that left no doubt about where it led. an arrow. attracted to this small area surrounded by a circle, does that mean anything?

Yes, this will be Industrial Boulevard, the road will be a pit, the pit where the body was located there was fine, plus you have the barriers, the shovel and the rake on your map. Brian used specific details to describe where he buried his victim. This was the evidence the detectives were looking for once he had a clear image of the map. Sperry compared the writing to known samples of Ricky Brian's writing. In this particular case, it wasn't just important to have the map details. as were eventually revealed through this examination, but since we had writings available to examine, obviously, since the details of this map are accurate and pinpoint where the body was located, the author of the map one would think would have knowledge absolutely where that body was.

So it became important to determine exactly who wrote it; the writing samples on the map matched known samples of Ricky Brian's handwriting. Sperry had proven that Ricky Bryan was the tycoon's perpetrator, once all the evidence was revealed, Detective Bernard reconstructed a probable Bryan crime scene. He went to her house late one night and took her out of the house, proud of this isolated area. here he killed her mutilated her and then buried her in a grave which led Ricky Bryan to brutally murder the woman he claimed to love some said it was for her money Clayton Thomas feels different I think he really was in love with her I feel like during this Ricky Bryan never admitted to killing Charlotte Scott until the end, he stuck to his story about the mysterious gang of men he was accused of murdering. in the first degree and sentenced to 25 years before being eligible for parole when a murderer leaves little paper trail Do you know that he may have already

his confession?

Each document tells two stories, one is the writer's intention and anyone can read it, but the other is a secret story that sometimes hides a terrible truth. Document examiners are the tellers of these stories who seek The indelible truth behind the paper and eat you.
